The first 20 minutes will be a performance by ResistSing and then we will invite everyone to learn and sing powerful songs of peace, protest, resistance, and justice. Raise your voices together. Learn songs to take to your communities, into the streets, and into your hearts for the hard moments. All songs will be taught by ear -- no singing experience necessary. All are welcome. No one turned away due to lack of funds.

Come warm up the first Sunday of the New Year with beautiful harmonies as we celebrate the ancient importance of song and community in the darkest time of the year. We will learn and sing songs and rounds that rejoice in the return of the light and the turn of the year. We will be learning all songs by ear. Come raise your voice in sweet harmony! All levels welcome.

What Our Students Are Saying

"Leela Grace is a vivacious, creative, inspiring, loving, knowledgable, and thoughtful teacher, performer, and musical mentor. Her breadth and depth of knowledge of her instruments and musical styles is astounding, but she somehow manages to avoid being intimidating. Leela builds confidence no matter the level of her students and I would recommend her to anyone, regardless of past musical experience or innate "talent". For Leela, music is community and love and joy, and it comes across in every note, every class, and every interaction. Take a class with Leela or catch one of her shows - you won't regret it!"
